"Has anyone got one of these new colourways yet? Would be interested to see how they actually look."

"It's certainly easy to get the impression that they are resting on their laurels a bit of late, I do rather miss the Mathmos of the late 90's early/ 00's when they were arguably at their creative peak."

"Yeah the wax in some of the blue/blue lamps seemed to take on a curiously purple hue when lit, I had a telstar like that..."

"I'd love white wax w/ violet liquid... would settle for pink wax/ violet liquid which they make, but only offered on the Neo (Bleh...)"

"Yeah, noticed that the other day... 'sOK. Probably not quite enough to part me with more cash. Was hoping the colourways featured on the Neo might find their way onto the rest of the range at some point."

"Metallic wax in one of the chromed bottles could be interesting - possible project for someone, maybe (I'm not very 'hands-on' myself)"

"Just pays to be aware of what you're buying to avoid disappointment, if you don't care about boxes, fair enough. Personally if i bought a lamp sold as completely original, boxed etc, and it turned out not to be the original box I would be…"

"Still maintain that's not the right box, the design of the boxes has changed at various times through the years, that one belongs to a different era from when the astro metallic was on sale. And it's unusual to have the printed logo on…"

"Yeah... bit of an oddity - there was a purple metallic, but the wax in the lamp pictured looks much darker/ glossier than the one released by Mathmos"

"Don't think that's the original box, seems to be the mid-90's style box - whereas the metallic Astro was sold for a brief period in the early 00's, the cap doesn't quite match the base (looks to be from an earlier lamp than…"

"And another, also lacking original bottle;http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/MATHMOS-LAVA-LAMP-TELSTAR-2000-CLEAR-LIQUID-GREEN-LAVA-/272715856976?hash=item3f7f21bc50:g:OSoAAOSwyltZQBkLI actually have a spare millennium Telstar, minus the bottle...Where have…"

"Not the original bottle either..."

"Looks like white wax in pink master fluid -  a colour combination that was available from Mathmos in the 90's."
